At a recent performance of Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", school children who had been
given free tickets were accused of misbehaving. They chatted, laughed. threw rubbish,
and walked in
and out during the performance. Legitimate theatre-goers were outraged and some even demanded
their money back. Yet a little reflection should remind us that this is the way audiences usually
behaved during the original performances of Shakespeare's work. In fact,
the playwright himself
would probably be more comfortable with the unruly teenagers than with the more sedate audiences
thought of as normal today.
